Feature scans:
- Proton/Linux: score 25; verdict: Works Well (Minor Tweaks); summary: The available evidence is limited but leans positive for Linux. One review presents the game as cross-platform across Windows, Linux, and macOS with low system requirements, suggesting it runs on a wide range of hardware. A second review from an MX Linux user indicates only a minor Linux-specific workaround was needed: installing 32-bit OpenAL and PipeWire-ALSA libraries to enable sound through Steam. No crashes, Proton/anti-cheat/DRM blockers, or heavy tweaking were reported.
- Steam Deck: score 30; verdict: Mostly Seamless with Minor Audio Tinkering; summary: The evidence points to a lightweight, natively cross-platform game that runs on very old hardware with an active modding community, which favors a smooth Steam Deck experience without Proton or external launchers. The main friction is on Linux/Steam, where one user had to manually install 32-bit OpenAL and PipeWire-ALSA libraries to get audio working, showing sound does not work out of the box. Remaining complaints concern misleading presentation and perceived quality rather than technical barriers. No unreadable UI, anti-cheat errors, crashes, or forced Proton-Experimental toggling were reported.

- Hardware Profile:
  - Summary: The provided Windows <8GB VRAM cohort reports a positive performance outcome, with all sampled reviews recommending the game.
  - Sample size: 27 (4% coverage)
  - Audience skew: Review sample is mostly Windows-based.
  - Windows <8GB VRAM (positive, 19 reports): Reviewers report smooth performance and good playability on low-VRAM Windows systems, with no non-recommended reports in the cohort.

- Community Price: No data
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: N/A
  - Story completion: N/A
  - Session length: 1.0h
  - Endgame: 250.0h
  - Reasoning: The Portuguese review reports a continuous session of a little more than 1 hour, while short-session references of 15 minutes show brief sessions; I take 1 hour as the typical session length. The Chinese review states that after 200-300 hours the game became boring, and another account reached 142 hours, supporting an endgame/long-term threshold around 250 hours. No review describes a completable campaign or story mode, so gameCompletion and storyCompletion remain null.
